Wow. I have heard horror stories of people waiting months for the oath date. Was so scared that was gonna be me but it was exactly how the IO said(you have a strait and simple case and people who got approved at the spot should get the oath letter in 2-4 weeks. My status never changed to in line for oath. It went straight from scheduled interview to oath ceremony was scheduled and mailed. Hope you hear somehing soon

 I don't mind waiting, I'm not in a rush but I wanted to plan travel for the next few weeks which may be tricky....

I wanted to be over with this process, it's stressing and I applied back in early June 2017.

already applied for my passport. It's a good feeling not having to think about USCIS ever in my life.

My journey came to an end today at the special Oath Ceremony at New York Historical Society.  59 countries 201 people were sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  We got a nice welcome package from New York Historical Society including free family membership and some small gifts (books, flags etc).  It took about 1.5 hours to check all participants in and we were sit at the specific seats with our names attached on the chairs.  Then, the USCIS deputy district director guided us with the process before the ceremony started at 11 a.m. with the presentation of colors by honor guard and so on.  We were called to get on the stage to receive our certificate one by one and the ceremony ended before noon.  Since this was not at the courthouse, we were allowed to have our phones and I took several pictures during the ceremony.  

 

I thought I wouldn't be excited but the whole ceremony got into me.  I was smiled the whole time.  I wish all ceremonies would be done this way.  For those who are still waiting for your oath, good luck.  I hope you get the one one.  

 

p.s. one note to guests.  I know that the whole families are excited that you will become US citizen but it is better not to bring small children to the ceremony if they can't sit and be quiet during the ceremony or you can stay outside of the auditorium with the kids once the ceremony starts.  The whole thing will take several hours.  It's not easy for kids to stay still.

I may need to book a flight back to the UK, due to an illness in the family. I passed my interview of 2nd April 208, and the interviewer advised I should receive documentation in 2 weeks (which would be 16th April). Id there any suggestions of how I may be able to expedite this? is it worth calling USCIS? etc as I don't want to be on a plane or 3500 miles away if/ when something happens to my nan.
